If you are arrested for a DWI or DUIM (driving under the influence by a minor) in Texas then if you either gave a breath sample and it was over .08 (.04 if in a commercial vehicle or a detectable amount if a minor) or refused to give a sample, you have 15 days, working DPS days, to request a hearing on your license.  If you gave a voluntary blood you will get a letter of the results from DPS and if over .08 you will have 20 days to request a hearing.  It is important if you were arrested for a DWI that you contact an attorney immediately to discuss these deadlines and why you want to always contest your automatic driver license suspension.
